**Key changes**

39+
We are pleased to introduce the new dashboard for our enterprise users, which has been designed to be more user-friendly and accessible. The updated dashboard structure now includes recommendation cards for alerts and feature tiles.
40+
41+
Recommendation cards prominently display any active alerts, ensuring you stay informed. Additionally, features are now presented in the form of tiles, enhancing ease of use and navigation.

The following screenshot is an example of what the user sees in their dashboard:

**Recommendation cards for alerts**
48+
49+
The structure of the dashboard has been updated to include a recommendation card that contains active alerts (if any). In case there are multiple alerts, resolving the top alert will bring forward the next one. Recommendation cards have been implemented to provide a more cohesive user experience. These cards are designed to display important alerts and notifications prominently on the dashboard, as shown in the following table.
